on behalf of expertvillage.com, my name isdean forrest with sedona coffee roasters. i am here to tell you about roasting coffee.okay a few minutes have gone by now and our second crack is starting. this crack is nota steam issue any longer. what happens in the second crack is the actual sugars in thecoffee are starting out to expand. they are heating. i think you can hear probably hearthe cracking. what's happening now is when
roasting your own coffee beans at home, all this takes place. this is the action.this is the most critical part of the roast. timing the actual drop making sure that isexactly where we want it. every roaster does their beans a little bit different. i am goingto shut the heat down now, get the cooling
tray going, getting ready to drop here.
what i am looking for now is the beginningof a little bit of oil, which is actually not oil but caramelized sugar. if you seesmoke coming out, that is because i've opened up the vent. we are there.
